Referring to Paraguay players repeatedly tackling Kylian Mbappe hard, France head coach Didier Deschamps said, "I asked the two biggest lads to stand around Kylian at the end because they were going to chop him down." Deschamps further said, "I won’t criticise Paraguay. Every team can play however they want...but I could do without the insults." France beat Paraguay 1-0.
